Canva

Canva is an online tool that makes it easy to create visuals, including professional presentations. You can add text, images, icons, animations, and customize each slide in just a few clicks. Everything is done directly in the browser, without the need to install anything.

The Canva software is very comprehensive and can be used to create different designs (banners, social media posts). But Canva is particularly useful for presentations.

Today, Canva has become a real alternative to PowerPoint, Slides, and Keynote.

Canva stands out for its simplicity and highly visual approach. It offers modern, ready-to-use templates, which saves a lot of time. It's a real alternative if you want a more visual presentation without getting lost in technical settings.

What's more, Canva has hundreds of photos and icons to use. You can even change the color of certain icons to match your visual identity.

The tool is suitable for everyone: students, trainers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and even associations. Whether for a presentation, a sales pitch, or a training session, Canva offers a simple and effective environment for creating beautiful presentations.

Creating a pitch deck or project presentation is entirely possible with Canva. The tool offers templates designed for this type of need, with a clear structure and professional finish, even if you're starting from scratch.

Our Canva experts are available on this page to help you create your pitch deck or presentation.

The interface is extremely intuitive. You don't need any design knowledge to get started. Everything works with drag and drop, and templates are there to guide you. It's really designed so that anyone can create a polished presentation, even without experience.

Online collaboration is possible directly in Canva. You can invite other people to edit the presentation with you, add comments, or track changes in real time. This is very convenient for working as a team, remotely, or simultaneously.

Canva allows you to add comments to share feedback with others on a shared presentation. And if you need to prepare your speech, you can also write presentation notes that are only visible during the presentation, so you can stay on track without your audience seeing them.

You can easily find a freelance Canva expert on BeFreelancr (above). Just check out the services offered on this page, in the Canva subcategory. Then choose the service provider that best suits your needs:

• Presentation creation
• Custom design
• Or personalized support

Canva provides dozens of templates designed by professional designers. Whether you need a pitch deck, sales presentation, training material, or visual report, you can start with a professional template and customize it very easily.

It's entirely possible to create vertical presentations suitable for Instagram stories, mobile devices, or even scrollable presentations. Simply choose the right format from the start or change the dimensions to suit your needs.

A freelancer can even offer to create two versions of your presentation (one horizontal and one vertical). This will obviously be a little more expensive, but you'll be able to use it on multiple sites.

And if no freelancer offers this option, you can ask them—they probably just haven't thought of it.

Everything is customizable in Canva: colors, fonts, backgrounds ...You can follow your graphic guidelines (if you don't have any yet, you can find them here), create a unique visual universe, or start from scratch based on what you have in mind.

Canva lets you easily add images, videos, icons, graphics, and even audio files to your slides. You can use your own files or choose from the extensive built-in library.

You can add custom graphs and charts to Canva. You can edit the data directly in the editor, choose the type of graph (pie chart, bar chart, line chart, etc.), and adjust the colors and style to fit your presentation perfectly.

Canva offers a rich library of free elements: icons, images, illustrations, frames, videos, shapes, lines, and more. Even with a free account, you already have access to everything you need to create a high-quality presentation without having to look elsewhere.

You can add animations to elements on a slide (text, images, icons, etc.), as well as transition effects between slides. It's easy to use and adds a touch of dynamism to your presentation without going overboard.

You can easily add clickable links to your Canva presentations, whether on text, an image, or a button. This is useful for creating interactive presentations or directing your audience to a web page, document, or another slide.

Canva lets you export your presentation as a PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), or even a video if you've used animations or voiceovers. This is very useful for adapting the format to suit your needs.

You can launch your presentation directly from Canva, in full screen, without having to download anything. Just click on "Present" and everything will run from your browser, whether you're in a meeting, on a video call, or in a room.

I still recommend downloading the presentation in case you lose your internet connection. But it's always good to know that you can present your slideshow directly on Canva.
